Polish game maker CD Projekt Red announced the delay on Tuesday, prompting a fiery response from fans on social media.

The big-budget blockbuster was announced in 2012 but has suffered multiple setbacks during a long and bumpy development.

“What if they kept delaying it until 2077?” one fan on Twitter joked.

Following the most recent delay, developers working on the game reportedly received death threats.

Senior designer Andrzej Zawadzki took to Twitter to voice his frustrations at the shameful response of a handful of fans.

“I understand you’re feeling angry, disappointed and want to voice your opinion about it,” he wrote.

“However, sending death threats to the developers is absolutely unacceptable and just wrong. We are people, just like you.”

Cyberpunk 2077 is a role-playing action game set in a dystopian Sci-Fi world where humans are part machine.

Keanu Reeves, 56, plays Johnny Silverhand, a “legendary rockerboy” who is a key character in the game.

Cyberpunk was initially due for an April 2020 release. This was first delayed to 17 September then 19 November and finally 10 December.

CD Projekt Red blamed the number of consoles and other platforms it was building the game for for the latest delay.

The RPG will be out on Xbox One, PS4, PC and Google Stadia, as well as the new consoles from Microsoft and Sony: The PS5 and Xbox Series X.

On top of that, production has slowed due to the coronavirus pandemic forcing staff to work from home for several months.

“The biggest challenge for us right now is shipping the game on current-gen, next-gen, and PC at the same time, which requires us to prepare and test nine versions of it,” the company said in a tweet.

“We need to make sure everything works well and every version runs smoothly.

“We’re aware it might seem unrealistic when someone says 21 days can make any difference in such a massive and complex game, but they really do.”
